Multiplication SaluteMultiplication salute - need: numbered cards. I use playing cards with Kings, Queens, Jacks, and Aces removed leaving numbers 2-10 for each suit. Sometimes you can get playing cards from the Dollar Store. Divide students into groups of three. Two of the students each draw a card and put it up to their foreheads so they can't see it, but others can. The third student, who can see both cards, calls out the product of the two cards. The students race to figure out the value of their own card. The first student to call out the right answer, keeps both cards. The round ends when all cards have been played and the students count their cards to see who won the most cards. (There's a couple ways to rotate. One is that two players race each other for the entire deck while the third calls out all the products for that round, then choose another person to call out the products. Or the three students can take turns each time the cards are drawn so they each get a turn calling out products and racing in the same game. |
Multiplication BingoMultiplication Bingo - Need: Blank Bingo card in a plastic sheet protector, dry erase markers, a 12-sided dice.
Choose a number for that round (6 for example) and have the students write the multiples of that number in each square of the Bingo card. They can repeat numbers as many times as they'd like. Roll the dice and have the students multiply the chosen number (6 in this example) with the number rolled on the dice. Then cross off the product on their bingo cards. They can only cross out one number each roll (so if they wrote 12 on five different squares, they only mark one for each time the product is 12). |
Pass the PigsPass the Pigs - need: plastic pigs and score cards. Students roll a set of pigs like dice. The score is based on how the pigs land.
Krypto - you lay out 6 numbered cards. You have to add, subtract, multiply and/or divide the first 5 cards to make it equal the last card. This game requires students to think creatively. There can be more than one way to manipulate the numbers to get the "answer." This is a great game. You don't actually need the "Krypto" cards, any numbered cards will work.
